A family crisis brings three daughters home to Oklahoma to face their sharp-tongued, cancer-stricken mother in Tracy Letts’ 2008 Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatic comedy. The Weston family has issues: the patriarch, Beverly, a once-famous alcoholic poet has disappeared; the matriarch, Violet, is addicted to pain pills and “truth-telling”; their three daughters, Karen, Ivy and Barbara, maintain their own deep secrets and personal dilemmas. As compassionate as it is vicious, as funny as it is dense, August: Osage County is an instant classic – an intimate mosaic of a uniquely American family.
